Water Quality Management

Segment: 8. Plant Culture & Propagation, Standard: Manage water conditions for plant growth. (Pathway II.A.3)

Description

Water quality management can include preventative steps as well as solutions to an already existing problem. Some examples of preventative water quality management are cover crops, buffer strips, and grass waterways to help prevent excess runoff into waterways. Additionally, if there is an already existing water quality problem, water can be amended by adjusting the pH or other nutrients or minerals, or adding liquid fertilizers.
